Science? in schools 

Bill would require California’s science curriculum to cover climate change

 

SOME THINK SCIENCE ISN’T DEFINITIVE ENOUGH TO TEACH

Reading, writing and . . . global warming?

A Silicon Valley lawmaker is gaining momentum with a bill that would require “climate change” to be among the science topics that all California public school students are taught. [snip]

“This is a great idea. I don’t think there’s any reason to talk about politics,” said Christine Bertrand, the group’s executive director. “There’s no argument that there is climate change. The argument is how much is caused by the activities of mankind.”

Bertrand said teachers would have plenty to discuss: rising levels of carbon dioxide, how temperatures are measured globally, and what is known and not known about global warming. [snip]

Not too much to worry about here, schools have a hard time teaching kids to read, much less giving them required science opinion.
